Chapter 2.1 Information Processing Flashcards
What is the working memory
Consist of a central control centre - central executive uses 3 sub systems
Phonological loop - deals with auditory information from the senses and helps produce the memory trace e.g coach’s instruction
Visuospatial sketch pad - used to temporarily store visual and spatial information
Episode buffer - co ordinates the sight,hearing and movement info from the working memory into sequences be sent to the long term memory
Define long term memory (LTM)
Receives information from the working memory and has an unlimited capacity for the storage of motor programmes
How can both working and long term memory work together
Working memory send an image or trace of the stimuli present to the LTM so that the scenario can be immediately compared to Info already stored
What are the features and functions of the memory system
WM initiates action by sending memory trace, limited capacity, last about 30 sec
LM has a large capacity and it can store information for a lifetime if needed
How can a coach store items in the LTM
Rewards- extrinsic and intrinsic
Association - linking the stored actions of a skill to a stored emotion or other action
Chunking - breaking the skilled action into parts or sub routines
Repetition of an action
Define receptor systems
The sense the pick up information from display Sight Hearing Touch Balance Kinesthesis
What is selective attention
Filtering relevant information from irrelevant information
What are the perceptual stage of information processing
Detection - picked up relevant info
Comparison - compare from already in the memory
Recognition - used information from the memory to identify an appropriate response
Define translatory mechanism
Adapting and comparing coded info to memory so that decision can be made
What is perception
Process of coding and interpreting sensory information
What is the effector mechanism
Network of nervous impulse that sends coded impulses to the muscles
